Just curious, if you put new pistons in, why didnt you go with a 6.7 or 6.8 length rod that is relatively standard on the tall decks.
What is the bore and stroke combination?
If memeroy servers me, Zull built a few of these 653 cubic inch. Makes lots of power but durability was very poor. LT

Its a shame you didn't order the rods when you disassembled the engines. Ordering long lead time parts last is a smart play.

They are 656 cu.in. with 11.625 deck. thus, the long odd ball rod length.

If the owner has a beef with Dean, let him post it. Otherwise, this is a bunch of 3rd party crap. And very unfair to a guy with a solid reputation.

The owner, Steve, doesn't have access to a computer right now. I'm boating with Steve and Krista tomorrow on my boat(Gellner doesn't rebuild my engines). Maybe they will stop by my place after the run, then Steve can use my computer. That way we all won't be subjected to "3rd party crap" anymore. One can only hope.

I'm sure that Steve is not the only one this has happened to. I'm sure there is a list of others. I think people should know that if they take their engines to Gellner, it going to be awhile before they get them back. Not that you're going to get a crap engines its just going to take a long time to get them!!!

This was a rare situation. We may not be the quickest, but I have NO comebacks and the engines run like a fine swiss watch. Our accomplishments speak for themselves!
